"Knowing your mistakes can improve you!" This sentence was spoken by the courtiers of Jin Linggong after admonishing Jin Linggong during the Spring and Autumn Period.

Because for a person in a high position, knowing and admitting mistakes is often a very detrimental thing to one's majesty. Therefore, for the superiors, there is really no better character than "knowing mistakes and being able to change".

It can be seen from this that it is really a very difficult thing to admit your mistakes to your subordinates when you are in a high position, especially in the current situation of Zhao Wei.

In order to establish his majesty in the army, he very sternly refuted Zhang Shihui's proposal.

And now, when Zhang Shihui's proposal has been proven to be correct. So logically speaking, he should indeed adopt Zhang Shihui's proposal.

But if he did so, then what he did would not be a slap in the face. In this way, the act of establishing prestige in the army where he is now located has become a complete joke.

Therefore, where to go from here really put Zhao Wei in a dilemma.

And just when he was in a dilemma and didn't know how to make a choice, the curtain of the tent was opened from the outside.

"Marshal, subordinates meet the marshal." The curtain of the tent was opened by a somewhat fat scribe, with a plain appearance, and a Confucian robe on his body, not only did not have the elegant temperament of a scholar, but looked like a merchant who valued profit over righteousness.

However, seeing him, Zhao Wei, who was in a dilemma, stood up from his seat, "It's so late, isn't Mr. resting?" ”

"The subordinates thought that the marshal should be confused in his heart, so at this time, he specially solved the confusion for the marshal." The fat scribe shook the fan in his hand, and as he said so, he unceremoniously found a seat in the tent.

"Haha, confused. Sir is really like a god! Zhao Wei shook his head with a wry smile and sighed, not displeased by the actions of this fat scribe. Instead, he asked him directly: "Mr. Ju, I really want to ask Mr. Ju for your advice." ”

"Haha, the marshal is serious, don't dare to give advice." Ju Baifang shook his head, then folded a fan in his hand, first shook the folding fan twice, and then couldn't help but squint his not very big eyes, looked at Zhao Weiyan and said: "Marshal, in this regard, I think you are really a fan of the authorities."

Even the farmers in the fields know that they know what they are wrong about. But why is it that such a simple matter becomes so difficult to make decisions when it comes to the marshal. ”

"......" Zhao Wei frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but say nothing.

But for this, Ju Baifang, who was full of fat and was really a person with his surname, smiled and stood up with a fan, "I think the reason why this is the case, the marshal is just afraid that doing this will make the deputy marshal more domineering, so that the marshal will put you in his eyes."

But in a certain opinion, Marshal, you are really blind in this matter, and you can't see Mount Tai. Wrong, too many, too many! ”

"Well, what do you mean, sir!" Zhao Wei finally spoke, but his voice was very stern.

However, even so, Ju Baifang, who stood in the tent and had been an official of the Yuan Court and was invited by Zhao Wei to be his staff member in the army, still didn't care. Instead, he stared at Zhao Wei's eyes at this time, looked at him and said, "Marshal." The marshal now lives in Pingzhang, Jiangxi Province, and it can be said that he is above 10,000 people under one person in Dachu.

When you reach the position of marshal, unless one day the king is called the emperor, even if you make great achievements, even if you make great achievements, to be honest, you will not be promoted. Then Marshal, at this time, why do you have to compete with Vice Marshal Zhang?

That's right, in terms of official position, Vice Marshal Zhang is indeed inferior to you. But don't forget, Vice Marshal Zhang is the only cousin of the king. In the future, if the king is called the emperor Jianji, Deputy Marshal Zhang will be the king of a certain place. If you compete with it now, how much benefit will you get in the future! ”

"This ......" Hearing Ju Baifang's words, Zhao Wei's face couldn't help but change.

And over there, when Ju Baifang saw this, he couldn't help but continue to strike while the iron was hot: "You have the grace of knowing me, and I will say another word to you." Marshal, among the Great Chu, although you are deeply respected by the king, you are an outsider after all.

Now you are as famous as Guo Pingzhang of Sichuan Province, but you must know that Guo Pingzhang of Sichuan Province is the wife and brother of the king. Therefore, even if Guo Pingzhang is in a high position, in the eyes of the generals, he should be. But what about you, Marshal, do the generals really look at you like this?

Marshal, there is a saying that 'the wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind'. This time, instead of flattering and competing with Vice Marshal Zhang, it is better to push the boat directly down the river and sell Vice Marshal Zhang a face. After all, as Vice Marshal Zhang, as long as there is no big mistake, sooner or later he will have to sit in a province. You say, isn't that the truth? ”

"Huh...... It makes sense, it makes sense! Zhao Wei was finally persuaded by his staff member Ju Baifang.

"There's Baifang here, otherwise I'm really going to make a big mistake this time. Well, when I wait until tomorrow, I will adopt Zhang Shihui's strategy, give him 20,000 soldiers and horses, and let him attack Chang Yuchun. If he can make contributions this time, I will be the head coach, and naturally I will have a command and dispatch skill.

And even if he fails and can't make meritorious contributions, as the younger brother of the king, having him in the position can also reduce the king's punishment. ”

"Hehe, the marshal is really wise!"

……

"What, the marshal agreed with my previous plan!" Early the next morning, Zhang Shihui, who was standing in the big tent of the Chinese army, couldn't help but be very excited at this time because of Zhao Wei's words.

"Yes. Why, Zhong Yao, don't you have the pride you had the day before yesterday at this time? Looking at Zhang Shihui, who was extremely excited, clasped his fists and saluted, and became very respectful of his etiquette again, Zhao Wei smiled slightly, and couldn't help but stir up casually.

"Haha, how could it be. Marshal and rest assured, everything is as the marshal promised before, ten days later, I will lead the army for the marshal to defeat Chang Yuchun and other Wu army soldiers and horses! ”

When the news was confirmed, Zhang Shihui immediately regained his previous ambition. In front of everyone, he confidently made such a promise to Zhao Wei. Then waiting for Zhao Wei's permission, even if he took Shi Kaida, Zhang Dingbian and other two military commanders who assisted him in this battle, he went down to prepare.

……

"As you all know, Chang Yuchun is recognized as the first brave general in the Wu army, and the Wu army even praised him as "Chang 100,000". Therefore, in this battle, the 7,000 soldiers under the command of Chang Yuchun Ji were also the breaking point of this battle. ”

When he knew that it was Shi Kaida and Zhang Dingbian who assisted him in breaking the enemy, Zhang Shihui took the two of them to his camp after leaving Zhao Wei's Chinese army tent, and came to a pre-war meeting with the two of them.

There is a good saying: "A general is the courage of a soldier". And now, Chang Yuchun, who is recognized as the first brave general by the Wu army, is also the courage of the entire Huizhou Wu army. As long as he is there, even if he only leads 7,000 soldiers and horses outside the city to defend the camp, the defenders in Wuyuan City will also become lost people who have found the light, and dare to fight to the death with our army.

In the same way, this time as long as it is defeated. Then even if our army does not take the initiative to attack Wuyuan City, the defenders in Wuyuan City will definitely become panicked and collapse themselves. Therefore, this war, in a certain opinion, is only a war. What do you think!? ”

"I'm willing to obey the marshal's dispatch!" When the two heard this, they didn't think about it, so they hurriedly agreed.

Needless to say, Shi Kaida is Zhang Shihui's cronies, so he naturally follows in Zhang Shihui's footsteps. As for Zhang Dingbian, I have to say that Zhang Shihui's tactics are indeed very in line with Zhang Dingbian's character.

Therefore, after these words, Zhang Dingbian, who was also eager to make a meritorious achievement, couldn't help but be a rare bird and took the initiative to stand up.

"The king left me the life of a defeated general, and it can be said that he has recreated it for me. Therefore, this time, the last general was originally invited to be the vanguard, and the marshal was also asked for permission! ”

"This ...... Hahaha, good, good! All I want is General Zhang's pride. Then wait until the afternoon, and it will be up to the general. ”

"Yes, the marshal will not be disappointed!"

Zhang Dingbian is full of pride, and a battle is about to begin.

……

"Boom! Boom! Boom! "At the beginning of the afternoon, when the monkey likes to crow, it is also the time of the day when the heat begins to cool down.

At this moment, the deafening sound of war drums could not help but resound on the road that was several miles wide in the northwest of Wuyuan City. But it was the first white-knuckle battle between the Chu army and the Wu army in Huizhou, and it was finally about to begin.

There were 20,000 Chu soldiers, and the battle was spread, covering the flat land as far as the eye could see.

Even though the valley road in the northwest of Wuyuan City between the hills is already very wide, at this time, it still can't help but feel a sense of congestion.

In the hot weather, the soldiers of the Chu army could not wear their heavy plate armor, which was extremely well defended. But at this time, under the support of Da Chu's strong national strength, these soldiers were still wearing relatively sophisticated light armor.

One after another, black flags were erected in the military formation, waving in the wind, looking like black clouds that could obscure the sky; And the spear blade with extremely sharp handles is like the dense mountain forest on the hill at this time, and the cold light seems to pierce the sky.

Standing on top of the high sentry tower, Chang Yuchun looked down at all this, and his fists couldn't help but loosen his clench.

This time, the Chu army of nearly 200,000 troops attacked the south of the Yangtze River in western Zhejiang, but the strategy used was extremely simple and clear.

Zhang Shihua, the king of Chu, divided the army of more than 200,000 troops under his command into two roads, one is the waterway and the main road army, with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the army will attack along the river; And the 60,000 soldiers and horses on the other road are the ones in front of him.

The target of these people is the Huizhou Road he guards.

Therefore, I have to say that the king of Chu, whom he has never met, is really a person who is very good at using soldiers. If the current Wu army is a python, the strategy formulated by the king of Chu happened to hit the seven inches of this python.

Today, Wu Jun's territory in the south of the Yangtze River in western Zhejiang is exactly a C-shape.

Huizhou Road is the most important section in the middle of the C-shape. This road connects Ningguo Road, Taiping Road, Guangde Road, Jiqing Road (where Jinling is located) to the north, and Jiande Road, Wuzhou Road, Shaoxing Road and other places to the south.

Therefore, Huizhou Road is the most important part of Wu's army on land now.

The connection between this place and the north and south ends of the Wu army is far more important to the Wu army than ten times that of Chizhou Road.

Although Chizhou Road is the land of Wu Jun's tuntian, looking at the overall situation, it is just a corner. Even if it is lost, for Wu Jun, the loss is only the skin.

But Huizhou Road is the heartland of the Wu army, once lost, the Wu army as a whole is equivalent to being beheaded by the Chu army.

Chang Yuchun had already silently made up his mind in his heart more than once, "In this battle, even if he Chang Yuchun suffers from thousands of arrows piercing his heart, he must not watch Huizhou Road lose in his hands"!

"The whole army obeys the order!" Seeing that the terrifying Chu army finally divided seven thousand soldiers and horses, beating loud war drums, and killing this side with great momentum, Chang Yuchun couldn't help but pull out the sword at his waist, "In this battle, if you don't win, you will die." All the soldiers of the army, ready to kill the thief!! ”

"Thief !!" The deafening shouts of killing finally lifted from the Wu army's camp.

The voice was so loud that it was like the thunder of the heavens roaring. Zhang Dingbian and Chang Yuchun, these two brave generals who once decided the ownership of the world, finally ushered in their almost fateful duel at this time.

……

"Kill, !!" Holding the sturdy shield in his hand, the sword and shield hand held the sturdy shield in his hand, lined up in strict shape, and stepped on an incomparably neat pace according to the rhythmic sound of war drums, like a black wave, and began to launch a crazy attack on the Wu army entrenched in the camp.

At this time, although the weather was still hot, at this time, hundreds of soldiers, as if they did not know that they were tired, tried to break through the defense lines set by the enemy before, and tried to press forward.

Even in the process, the enemy's arrows are as dense as hailstones, and the comrades next to them will fall one after another.

In the end, there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, and the generals and officers at the grassroots level in Zhang Dingbian's army are also working hard to boost the morale of the army at this time.

"Brothers, this is the time to do it. If you kill them, you have to be beheaded, you have to get a military rank, and you have to be exempted from service. Brothers, for the sake of our future and future, wives and children, kill them! ”

One by one, the generals roared like this, and then with such an angry roar, thousands of Chu soldiers and soldiers couldn't help but rush up again.

However, Chang 100,000 is worthy of being Chang 100,000.

This tiger general who said "can sweep 100,000 people in the world", although his courage is unparalleled. But in addition to bravery, this general, who joined the Wu army halfway and was able to hold a high position to guard the important Huizhou Road, in addition to his bravery, naturally has insightful knowledge in the art of war.
